Email 600, Sept 2007: Watts expose makes NOAA want to change entire USA method

Email 600

[Tom Karl, Director of the National Climatic Data Center] We are getting blogged all over for a cover-up of poor global station and US stations we use. They claim NCDC is in a scandal by not providing observer’s addresses. In any case Anthony Watts has photographed about 350 stations and finds using our criteria that about 15% are acceptable. I am trying to get some our folks to develop a method to switchover to using the CRN sites, at least in the USA.

Yea. I notice the long duration as indicated on anyone getting serious about implementation of changes suggested a few years back. That might required some honest work to be conducted. These people don’t believe in such standards.
